Vintage 2016 Wrap Up

An exceptionally warm and dry summer was great news for grape growers!

But no year is without drama- smoke from the large bush fires in north west Tasmania and a couple of big rain events rolled in to cause us headaches.

Ultimately, the smoke did not affect our fruit- great news! We started picking a little earlier than usual and harvested a good crop. 2016 will go down as one of the bigger vintages in Tasmania, we're looking forward to tasting the wines.
